Tung Ping Chau Island guide 东平洲- a must-visit place in Hong Kong

Today, I will visit a place in Hong Kong with nothing to do with shopping and eating but an offshore island. It is part of the Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark- called Tung Ping Chau.

Some geologists hypothesize that over 50 million years ago, the surrounding mountains were subjected to abundant sunlight and rainfall, causing plant debris, sand, and mud to be carried away and deposited in the lagoon. The sediments were then layered and compacted, eventually turning into rocks. Over the next tens of millions of years, the rock formation was subjected to numerous fluctuations in sea level and long-term weathering, eventually becoming the island we see today.
The coastal rocks display an irregular structure with cracks resembling bean curd pieces or fish scales. These rocks were initially joined together but were fractured due to strong compression. Over time, the cracks widened due to wave erosion and weathering, resulting in today's unique and distinctive landscape.

We visit the island's significant viewpoints, including the following.
- Old villages (housed built with siltstone)
- A Ma Wan (阿妈湾/cobble beach with coral fragment)
- Tin Hau Temple (天后宫)
- Kang Lau Shek (更楼石/sea stack)
- Lung Lok Shui (龙落水/Cherty layer)
- Cham Keng Chau (斩颈洲）

If you ever visit Hong Kong, Tung Ping Chau is a must-visit destination, offering a glimpse of nature and a change of pace from the city's bustling atmosphere, traditional culture, and delicious food.
